Summer vacations are very relaxing for kids but they can easily get bored too! So how about some great ideas to try some fun activities or projects which will keep them happily busy and interested? And we think you can get involved too and enjoy the bright, sunny days to the fullest!

Camping is a great idea for this season. It can be as simple as a backyard camping or a family slumber party with sleeping bags on the floor.

Gardening can be a great hobby and teach kids the power of care and nurturing!

If there is a fair or carnival going on in your locality, take the children there. Fun rides, cotton candy, popcorn, ice cream! What can be more fun?

A road trip to a nearby tourist spot or city can be immense fun. The sights, the drive, the snack on the road…perfect!

Visit a museum or a historical site. Kids might find it fascinating.

Encourage them to create a scrapbook with focus on any particular area that interests them. Or maybe write a comic book with original illustrations!

Get together for some fun adventure sports like hiking, bike riding, rafting, canoeing and more…

Arrange for a treasure hunt with your kids and their friends. They can dress up like pirates too!

Your whole family can put up a drama performance together. It will be a great way to inspire imagination and creativity.

Having a garage sale for all the stuff which your children no longer use, is a lovely idea. They can earn money and have fun negotiating!

Tiny tots can have a good time building models with clay, play dough, paper or other scrap materials too.

How about inspiring them to write a journal or diary, where they can jot down their experiences, wishes, ambitions?

A puzzle race can be very entertaining. All of you can try to different puzzles with same number of pieces and see who finishes first!

You can simply go for a walk with your kids and ask them to gather any natural objects that they might find lying around. Then they can create an interesting collage from them!

Summer is the perfect time to have fresh salads, cool smoothies and fruit juices. Get your kids to help you while making them!

An evening of stargazing can be absolutely magical. See how many constellations you can recognize…

Teach tiny tots to make colorful and funky jewelry from beads. They will be engrossed.

Let the little ones experiment with some cool hairdos, like spikes, braids or non permanent colors!

Reading is a great hobby. Your kids can join a reading club too or maybe listen to an audio-book of their favorite classic.

Building a Lego castle is super exciting for toddlers. Make it a family project.

Put your origami skills to good use. Create fun stuff with your kids and use them as home decor!

You can also organize an outdoor painting party for your kids and their friends. Use giant canvases if possible. They are great fun!

And there is so much more to do…learn something together like yoga or a musical instrument, go to the movies, play badminton or Frisbee, fly a kite, do the “back to school” shopping! And of course, we would love to hear about more ideas from you…

Kids are super cute but they are usually mischievous mess-makers. So the earlier you start teaching them the value of organization, the more it will help them to succeed not only at school but everywhere else too.

Start with every day habits or routine like packing lunch box or school bag, getting dressed or even brushing teeth before going to bed. This will encourage them to remember and learn to do the essential things regularly.

Designate a definite place and time of study. It should be a quiet place with least distractions. Encourage him or her to decide which assignments are priority. Sit with them to review the homework, things needed for school the next day or any special project work. You can install a pegboard near the study table to help organize papers, notes, art work, craft supplies etc. neatly.

Use folders and files to sort and organize notes, assignments, completed work or work to do, separately. Make sure your child tries to do it himself gradually. Color code or label folders for ease if required.

While choosing a school bag or locker or closet organizer to store all school supplies, make sure it has enough compartments to arrange different things easily. This is where toddlers start figuring out what fits in where and why they should separately stack things like books, notes, stationery, lunchbox etc.

Teaching kids to clean up after play time or store their dirty laundry neatly is a cool way to teach them organization and also keeps the nursery clutter free. Will help you to breathe easy too! Use our incredibly cute toy organizers, storage sacks and multipurpose laundry bags to control playroom mess. The double flap organizers will help them separately store their toys, games, books, clothes and much more! http://tinyurl.com/uberlyfe-animalstorage

Use labels for bins if that makes finding stuff easier. Like for instance “Everyday toys”, “Favorite Toys”, “Old Toys”. Keep the bins for old toys or clothes higher up on the shelf and the more frequently used ones on the lower shelves so that kids are able to reach them easily. Teach them to donate toys he no longer plays with…he will learn to care for others 🙂

Use our colorful drawer dividers to arrange your children’s inner wear, delicate items or accessories. Motivate them to do the arranging themselves. You can also paint an old dresser with chalkboard paint and label each drawer for different items! http://tinyurl.com/uberlyfe-closetdivider

Get a funky, vibrant calendar for your little one’s room. Let them inculcate the habit of jotting down reminders like- things to do, household chores to help with or maybe something they need for school, exam dates, assignment submission dates and so on. Or encourage them to create check lists.

When you go shopping, involve your kids while planning what things to get, which route to take. Even when you are planning a vacation, let them decide what clothes, games or essential items they want to take along.

All these little ways can instill a sense of responsibility in your little munchkins and prepare them to evolve into sensible adults 🙂

It doesn’t need to be emphasized that a rocker is almost a must in every nursery…it’s fun, motivates activity and a great pastime! But what most of us probably don’t know is, there are really cool designs out there which kids can’t help but love 🙂

The stringed swaying seat of this rocker, lends a minimalist and quirky look…

This rocking sheep is not only engaging for tiny tots, it’s soft and cuddly too!

A rocker painted in the colors of the rainbow is pretty educational.

It is not just a whimsical little rocker, when you turn it over, it becomes a cool race-car!

Having your own pet rabbit to go on a wild ride is obviously appealing to any kid.

This one is really creative and a great way to get used to life’s fast lane!

For those children who have highly original thoughts or are extremely imaginative…this “monster” rocker is a must. Let the adventure begin!

The rocking frog made from bamboo is both entertaining and environment friendly.

These rockers have been inspired by a creature from Star Wars! No doubt they look so exotic…

Why does it always have to be a horse? Why not these woolly, silky soft sheep? This way, no matter how long the ride, the seat will always be comfy!

Now all this “rocking” makes us want to go back to our childhood 🙂 Do you feel the same way?

Having a jungle themed nursery is an excellent way of inspiring your kids to fall in love with the wild, the nature and grow up to be environment friendly.

We think it’s great if they learn the importance of all living creatures and peaceful co-existence. This understanding will make them more responsible and caring too! Check out these “wild” nurseries and play rooms that make good use of this idea…

So you see, it’s really hard to not like these cute friendly animals…lastly, all that you will need are a couple of stuffed elephants, giraffes, lions, monkeys or whoever is your fancy, and your personal sanctuary is ready 🙂

This large glow in the dark teddy is more than just a cuddly soft toy…if your kids are afraid of the dark, it can help them overcome that fear! The toy uses colorful LED lights powered by low voltage batteries. The light is composed of quality cotton and lint. It is perfectly safe to use and acts both as a night light and plush pillow or cushion.

The multi-colored lights emitted, stimulate babies visually and for slightly older tots, it is a great way to teach the names of different colors. So besides being uniquely decorative, this friendly bear is utilitarian too 🙂

Making the process of learning, fun for kids is an art! How many times have you faced the concern that your little chipmunk does everything but study? Maybe he finds it boring or not stimulating enough…maybe he needs some creative, more interactive way to enjoy the fruit of knowledge 🙂

Now we know that there is a whole range of products in the market which are dedicated to appeal to the inquisitiveness of kids. But we think there is particularly one which provides a constant motivation to learn even for a baby! Alphabet wall decals…easy to apply on the nursery wall maybe near the crib, these are bound to make your little one curious.

When we brought you this quirky wall sticker which is also a height chart!! What better way to motivate kids to eat their veggies and “reach for the sky”, than this giant, bright orange carrot wall decal? It’s funny, adds a dash of cheer to boring plain walls and these cute bunnies are just adorable 🙂 See more: http://tinyurl.com/k6unyp9

And we have these clutter control bins which perfectly match the wall decor! Soft, cute rabbits exude that warm, happy feeling which not only kids, but even grown ups love…and we don’t need to emphasize that they organize things so beautifully. Decor and storage under one roof! See more: http://tinyurl.com/qxmfclz; http://tinyurl.com/nkd55jt
